Allegations of grave human rights abuses at the hands of Myanmar's security forces have drawn sharp criticism from international human rights advocates, but the nominal head of country and Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi remains taciturn.
"Suu Kyi risks shredding what residual credibility she still has on promoting human rights if she fails to speak out," says David Scott Mathieson, from Human Rights Watch.
"She has made it clear she is a politician, not a human rights defender or humanitarian, when the desperate situation in Rakhine requires any political leader to prioritise those issues." (Courtesy of abc.net.au)
